With that in mind, here’s some stats to consider when selecting your Fantasy Surfer team for the 2018 Men’s AND Women’s Corona J-Bay Open. -This is the first year that a women’s event has been included in the event.

For those of you who have forgotten, the 2015 J-Bay event was called off during the final when Mick Fanning had what has been described as a “shark encounter”.

In fact, the last time a goofyfoot even made the final was in 2009. -There are 4 former J-Bay winners competing in this years event.

Mick’s life took a dramatic turn, we questioned wether or not the event should even be held at J-Bay in the future, and shark monitoring became a thing we had to pay attention to during events.
